Rally with Santa Claus & Candlelight Vigil for Cannabis Patient Prisoners

?They should be happy that I stop at all for them this year,? declares

Santa Claus. ?They have stolen from patients, thwarted justice,

terrorized the state of California and wasted huge amounts of valuable

resources. They are shameful, unapologetic and should be spanked and sent

to bed without supper.?



Where: 255 E. Temple Street, Downtown Los Angeles ? Edward R. Roybal

Federal Building



When: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 ? 4:00 p.m.



What to bring (if you like ? people always ask ? but not mandatory ? JUST

BE THERE):

1.) You may want an umbrella ? it may be rainy on Wednesday but candles

look good under umbrellas.

2.) Fill a black trash bag with newspaper or other stuffing. Put a sign

on the bag that reads C.O.A.L. Feel free to put a bow in it or a large

To: DEA/From: Santa tag on it. The more bags of coal, the better.

3.) Make a sign for a prisoner ? In honor of (their name), Happy Holidays

to (their name) and their release date, me miss you. Or in memory of (the

patient prisoners who have died in jail.)

4.) A candle, paper cup, lighter.

5.) At least FIVE friends to join you.



Patients are gathering and making props this week. Stay posted for

spontaneous art parties and other activities around this rally and after

the event. Please attend even if you can?t make or bring anything. We

are anticipating GOOD media coverage. Let?s make sure the DEA knows that

they were very naughty this year!

I look forward to seeing you there.

THIS WEDNESDAY SANTA CLAUS DELIVERS COAL TO THE DEA

MEDICAL CANNABIS PATIENTS HONOR THOSE IN PRISON



LOS ANGELES ? December 21, 2008 - Santa Claus has announced that he is

delivering a few bags of coal to 255 E. Temple Street in Downtown Los

Angeles this Wednesday at 4 p.m.

?The DEA should be happy that I stop at all for them this year,? declares

Mr. Claus. ?They have stolen from patients, thwarted justice, terrorized

the state of California and wasted huge amounts of valuable resources.

They are shameful, unapologetic, should be spanked and sent to bed without

supper.?

Patients will gather to tell Santa their wishes for the New Year and new

White House Administration and hold a candlelight vigil for those patients

who remain in prison due to U.S. failed drug policies.

?There are many wonderful people in our jails and prisons who are

non-violent cannabis users. They should be at home with their families,

not in prison. We demand president-elect Obama put an end to these raids

and useless incarcerations,? states Deg? Coutee, president of Patient

Advocacy Network, a Southern California based medical cannabis patient

advocacy and education organization.

Coutee continues, ?What we witnessed last week was no more than armed

Christmas shopping. The DEA took televisions, jewelry and cars, but no

arrests were made all while holding patients at gunpoint. This is not

public safety. This is government sanctioned terrorism.?

There have been 10 DEA raids on legally qualified patients and their

providers throughout Southern California in the last two weeks. Cash,

medicine and personal property were taken, some without a warrant. No

arrests were made but patients were threatened. For more information

contact Patient Advocacy Network at (323) 334-5282 or

patientadvocates [at] riseup.net or visit CannabisSavesLives.com.
